The 10,000 horsepower podcast with a need for speed

Menu

Our podcast is a year older, and still as immature as ever. Jim and Justin celebrate Redline Theatre’s first birthday by revisiting some of our favorite moments from the previous year. Thanks to all of you for listening!

Jim introduces Redline Under The Hood and waxes nostalgic with audio clips from his and Eric’s Dragon*Con Parsec Awards Adventure.

Under The Hood is where we’ll talk Redline news and share interviews with cast members, writers, and other contributors. Future episodes will also talk about what goes into a Redline Theatre production and music score.

It is 1974 in California’s San Fernando Valley, and veteran film director Roger Adamson has begun production on his low-budget action exploitation film “Candy Dynamite”. Adamson’s old world values are out of place amidst the sleaze of swinging seventies Hollywood. What’s a man to do when his code and that which he holds most dear both end up on the cutting room floor?

With Jim & Eric away, Justin finds himself home alone at Redline Theatre HQ. He chats about 1) RLT becoming a 2011 Parsec Award finalist for “Best New Speculative Fiction Podcaster/Team” and 2) his thoughts on the Summer Movie season. (He also drinks all the soda in the fridge and leaves the toilet seat up.)

“Mr. Casey, the engineer, ain’t so much as blinked an eye in what seems like days, his glassy steel stare never wavering from the track. I suppose he’s as good as dead to most on account of he’s a marked man. But I’d just as soon rot in Hell before I’d ever let him down. Especially since I was the reason this all happened…”

David found himself staring into a pair of haunting, mismatched eyes, and his mind reeled with old memories of basements, medical equipment, and weeks without the sun. In an instant he saw everything he’d ever worked for evaporate: career, reputation, and possibly his freedom…

“Congratulations on the commencement of your new life as a human being! Being born was a wise decision on your part, as this will make it infinitely easier for you to eventually read and follow the instructions listed in these pages…”

In the final installment of Less Than Super Friends, our favorite sextet of self-deluded superheroes sinks into the surreal inner sanctum of their sinful, sickening and psychotic foe, Major Inconvenience. Will their combined powers be enough to beat this addle-brained antagonist at his own game?

The Teacher grabbed the corpse by the shoulders as the Student stood nervously watching, ready to learn from his mentor. As the dissection began, one question remained: what was the true nature of the lesson that was to be taught?

“My name is Brittany. I am 12 years old. I like unicorns and starfish. I have a tabby cat named Mr.Whiskers. He’s on a special diet now, so sometimes he throws up in my mom’s shoes at night. I get decent grades in school, I take swimming lessons on the weekends, and I DON’T talk to strangers. Unless I’m chatting online…”

Brian Weber and his odd friends look like average office workers, library loafers, and miscellaneous slackers. However, within the selective realities of their unique minds, they are all extraordinary heroes. Super is as super does, but are these would-be wonders super enough to confront their most fiendish foe yet?

“He called it The Hunger, but it’s a bit different than the kind most people have. He reasoned that you couldn’t fault a tiger for what it was, so God must not fault us. He tried to color it like it was some proud family tradition. That’s what my Dad called it. God rest his eternally damned soul…”
